Belén Aguilar has spent her life dreaming of British lineage and family prestige. In marrying Patrick Stratton-Delaney, she moves to his idyllic town of Carel, where she becomes a reporter for the local paper. Carel, located on the south shore of Long Island and a 90-minute train ride to Manhattan, becomes the almost-English-countryside home of Belén's dreams.

In her stories and dalliances, she seeks to be in the light of men to outshine her self-doubt.
